Every April 17, Father's Day is celebrated in Guatemala. A date to pay tribute to parents, to remind them of the love they have, their meaning in the lives of their families and the importance of their presence in the development of children.
Although each family keeps its traditions, in Guatemala it is very common for festivities to be held during the day or close to the date. It is common for families to get together to celebrate and for the little ones in the house to express their love with gifts that they themselves have made for their parents.
Here are some ideas on how to pamper dad during the month:
- Let the children of the house prepare their favorite breakfast. It's a way to get involved in activities that will make them learn and keep Dad entertained.
- Going out to eat dad's favorite food as a kid. This way they will be able to know a little about their childhood and who knows, even share tastes.
- An afternoon dedicated to doing an outdoor activity with dad: A soccer game, going for a walk, a bike ride or, if he's an extreme dad, zip-lining.
- Watch Dad's favorite movie with popcorn and a chocolate milkshake, two favorites of children and adults.
- Make a card in the form of a photo frame and print a photo. This way dad can have a nice memory in his office.
These are some activities that you can share as a family to celebrate Dad during his month.
We wish all dads a Happy Father's Day!
